Dark Paradise (#1) by Angie Sandro. I received a free copy of this book for review from NetGalley. If you're in the mood for a New Adult murder mystery romance with ghosts and Louisiana swampland ambiance, you might want to give this book a whirl. It's the story of...
Northanger Abbey (The Austen Project) by Val McDermid. This is the latest in the line of Austen adaptations I was eager to try out. This version of Northanger Abbey takes place in the modern day, complete with texting, British slang and Facebook stalking. It's the...
I received a free copy of this book for review from Harper Voyager. This past weekend the boy indulged my fixation with dragons and took me to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. We both liked the first movie, so this wasn't too much of a hardship for him. 🙂 I thought...
Hidden (Dragonlands #1) by Megg Jensen. I received a free copy of this book for review from NetGalley. Oh, where to start with this one... How about the cover? You'll notice there's a dragon on it, and that the series is called Dragonlands, so it should be no surprise...
The Steady Running of the Hour by Justin Go. This is a book I added to my TBR pile because of Casee Marie's fabulous Notable New Releases series (probably the biggest contributor to my ever-expanding TBR pile, by the by). It's the story of Tristan, a modern-day...
Longbourn by Jo Baker. If Pride & Prejudice was turned into Upstairs/Downstairs or Downton Abbey, this would be the Downstairs portion. It's the story of the servants that we just get mere glimpses of in Austen's original, given their own histories and lives and...
Today this little space on the web turns 3 years old. It simultaneously seems like longer and yet not that long. I've been through a slight name change and several blog themes. I've tried and then abandoned sponsorships and certain topics/series. Writing a blog is a...
The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1) by Maureen Johnson. I've followed this author, Maureen Johnson, on Twitter for quite awhile (she actually is one of my favorite Twitter personalities), so I thought it was high time I actually checked out her writing. I...
The Winter King by C.L. Wilson. When the rep from Harper Collins/Avon contacted me to see if I'd be interested in reviewing an advance copy of a high/epic fantasy romance, I didn't have to think twice. Magic and princes and sexy times? Yes, please. And The Winter King...
A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie Brennan. Right, you thought I could walk by this cover in the library and not pick it up? Ha. This book is a fun little adventure story. The conceit is that it's told as a memoir, from the point of view of...
